European Stocks Climb Most in Two Months - 2009/06/01 23:45
Hi guys, long time no see you here. My job is quite time-consuming... Europeanstocks rallied, pushing the Dow Jones Stoxx 600 Index to the biggest gain in almost two months, as speculation grew that the worst of the global recession is over.
BHP Billiton Ltd., the world’s largest mining company, jumped 5.3 percent as Chinese manufacturing expanded for a third month and base metals climbed. Total SA rose for the fourth time in five days as crude surged to a seven-month high. Daimler AG surged 8.4 percent as Bank of America Corp. added the shares to its “Europe 1” list.
The Stoxx 600 gained 2.8 percent to 214.09 at 4:36 p.m. in London, the steepest increase since April 2. The regional gauge closed at the highest level since November on optimism the $12.8 trillion pledged by the U.S. government and the Federal Reserve will help to end the first global recession since World War II.
